Samuel Doggett

Samuel Jesse Doggett (November 29, 1871 - October 4, 1935) was one of the leading American Thoroughbred horse racing jockeys of the 1890s and a founding director of the Horsemen's Protective Association who went on to train and own racehorses.

[3] (US$300,522 in 2018)[4] By the early years of the 1900s American jockeys were in great demand by owners throughout Europe and in 1901 Doggett joined Fred Taral in signing a lucrative contract to ride in Austria.

[5] Samuel Dogget's biography in the 1898 edition of The American Turf reported that "Throughout his career, Doggett has been noted for temperance, attention to business, and frugality" and that his home was "one of the most beautiful places in Gravesend, Brooklyn".

[9] Still active as an owner, he hired top trainer A. J. Goldsborough and with Canadian jockey Guy Burns aboard Doggett's filly Angerona they won the 1909 Fashion Stakes at Belmont Park.

[11][12] In February 1907 he announced his retirement from racing and relocated to Denver, Colorado to go into the dry goods business with his brother.
